#Episode 53

“Yes, understood. …Professor, you were so cool.”

As Da-som murmured while nestled in Kang Hyeok’s arms, Kang Hyeok chuckled and said.

“You’re just realizing I’m cool now?”

“No, I knew it long ago. Hehe.”

When Kang Hyeok stepped forward and took control of the situation like that, more than anything, she felt reassured.

What can’t our professor do, really.

Big and handsome, tall and muscular, sweet hot guy, you could say.

Da-som looked up at Kang Hyeok’s handsome face.

“I’ll stay here until 12 o’clock before leaving. Call me if anything happens. Got it?”

“Mmm, don’t do that and go home to rest.”

“I’m off starting tomorrow, so it’s fine. And you didn’t forget about going to the 30th anniversary event with me tomorrow evening, right?”

“…Oh, right. That was happening.”

“Don’t feel pressured, just come with me and we’ll be back.”

“Yes.”

With such reassurance, what was there to worry about.

But still, doing this at the emergency exit where people pass by doesn’t seem quite right.

As Da-som fidgeted in his arms, Kang Hyeok kissed her forehead and released her from his embrace.

“There was no contact from Kim Min-chan’s guardian, right?”

“Oh, yes. Well, they’ll probably give up.”

As Da-som giggled and laughed, Kang Hyeok stroked her head. She was so happy about that and leaned her head forward, when a gentle smile appeared on Kang Hyeok’s lips.

Creeeeak.

Suddenly the thick iron door opened and through the gap, a large face poked out, grinning wickedly.

Startled, Da-som pushed Kang Hyeok away, and Kang Hyeok, who was sent flying backward without realizing it, glared fiercely at Ma Seong-ho.

“Get lost!”

“I’m, I’m going. But you shouldn’t be doing this here.”

Click.

After the door closed, Da-som was shocked once more by the fact that the face just now was Ma Seong-ho.

“Professor, what if we got caught?”

“More than that, Da-som.”

Kang Hyeok called out in a low, sunken voice.

“What should we do.”

“Seong-ho knows. I told him. So you don’t need to worry.”

“Really? Phew, you scared me.”

Da-som patted her chest in relief. Kang Hyeok watched her silently.

“But, but why are you standing over there, Professor?”

Kang Hyeok was standing against the wall some distance away. He looked somewhat shocked too.

“If our Da-som gets caught twice, she’ll kill the professor, hmm?”

If Kang Hyeok took just one step sideways, there were stairs going straight down.

Did I push too hard.

No, in bed he doesn’t budge no matter how hard I push.

Da-som rolled her upper and lower lips and smiled sheepishly.

Whether this smile would work was uncertain.

***

Even as it approached 12 o’clock, Kang Hyeok didn’t show up in the Emergency Room.

Da-som thought he might have stopped by while she was taking a patient for CT scans.

During a brief lull when there were few patients, when told to take turns resting, Da-som headed to the on-call room.

As she lay on the bed trying to catch some sleep, Da-som’s phone rang.

It was Han Byeol.

―Ahhh! Cotton ball, where are you, where are you right now!

Startled, Da-som bolted upright on the bed.

Just how long did I sleep.

Surprised, Da-som checked the alarm clock on the table.

She had only come to rest her eyes for 30 minutes, but not even 10 minutes had passed.

“I’m in the on-call room. Did something happen?”

Did patients flood in during that brief moment.

―It’s not that. Don’t be surprised.

“What, are you trying to play another prank. Friend, even if you’re my best friend, if you called about something trivial, I won’t let it slide.”

Startled Da-som patted her chest and sat back down on the bed.

―Well then, Han Bin came, should I get the consent form?

What? Han Bin? You mean my actor Han Bin?

Da-som bounced up from her seat like a ball and rushed out of the on-call room.

“Where, where is he.”

A bodyguard and manager in black suits were pacing around the waiting room.

Oh my god!

They really were Han Bin’s bodyguard and manager. There was no way she wouldn’t recognize the two people who stuck to Han Bin’s side like gum.

Their looks were so celebrity-level that they were popular among Han Bin’s fans too.

Da-som rubbed her eyes and checked again.

Then where is our Han Bin hurt?

With the belated question, Da-som’s face turned pale.

Han Byeol, who spotted Da-som shooting out like a bullet, clicked her tongue and approached Da-som.

There was a time when she rented equipment from camera rental shops, which were like holy sites for fansites, to go take pictures of Han Bin.

Actually, agencies should know. How important that one photo taken by fansites is. No one knows how many people will become fans from that one photo.

Da-som grabbed her trembling heart and pulled Han Byeol’s arm.

“Wh, where is he? Our Han Bin. Oh, no. Where does it hurt that he came? Don’t tell me he got injured during filming?”

“Senior Su-ji is looking at him. It’s a fracture.”

“Really? Where? Is he badly hurt?”

As Da-som poured out rapid-fire questions, Han Byeol shook her head and dragged her into the Emergency Room.

“O, our H, Han Bin is…”

“Does the professor know you’re acting like this?”

“Uh, I told him.”

“That’s strange. He knows and just lets it be? He didn’t seem like such a lenient person. From what I heard from Eun Hyeok too.”

Da-som’s ears weren’t really hearing anything. Hearing that Han Bin, who she had served as her actor for years, was injured and here, all sorts of thoughts came to mind.

“Where did you go.”

Su-ji came out from behind the curtain of a bed in B Zone and spoke coldly upon spotting Han Byeol.

“And why did you come out when I told you to rest? Don’t tell me…”

Da-som swallowed dry saliva and nodded.

Su-ji, who had been looking back and forth between Han Byeol and Da-som, chuckled as if she understood.

“We need to take an X-ray, who wants to do it?”

Da-som raised her right hand high. And looked at Su-ji with passionate eyes.

The person who lets me see Han Bin is a kind and pretty person.

“Doctor, we’ll do it.”

Suddenly two first-year residents popped out from behind.

Rattle.

While everyone was just watching each other, the radiologist came pulling a portable X-ray machine and gestured toward Su-ji.

“Since the radiologist is here, everyone can go now.”

Da-som stared blankly from behind at the two people disappearing behind the curtain.

“These guys have no discipline! Don’t you all have work to do?”

Han Byeol chased away the two residents while watching Da-som’s reaction.

My actor is behind that closed curtain and I have to just stand here?

And why is Jeon Su-ji, who should be in the Pediatric Emergency Room, here?

The sound of conversation could be heard from inside the curtain.

The low, resonant voice was definitely Han Bin’s.

Da-som clutched her chest and staggered.

But then the OS (Orthopedic Surgery) doctors pushed past Da-som and rushed in.

Oh no, damn it.

They were dragging their feet when called, but now this.

Da-som, who had barely regained her balance, stepped aside.

Swoosh!

The OS team vigorously pulled back the curtain, seated Han Bin in a wheelchair, and immediately moved him.

It really was Han Bin.

“Come into my left ventricle…”

Da-som, completely dazed, unconsciously muttered while looking at Han Bin. It was something fans said to each other.

Then Han Bin looked back at Da-som as he passed by her.

And.

“I’ve obtained residency rights.”

Han Bin completed the sentence Da-som couldn’t finish and flashed his golden smile.

“Excuse me, wait a moment.”

Finally, Han Bin stopped the wheelchair.

The OS doctor looked at the two people making strange comments.

Da-som felt like she could die without regrets now.

As she looked at Han Bin with glistening eyes, Han Bin pushed the wheelchair himself and approached Da-som.

A strange silence fell over the Emergency Room.

“I’m meeting all my fans here. Are you a doctor?”

Ugh, my heart.

“I’m Jji, Jjikseun. You might not remember me.”

“Ah, my fansite master! I remember you. I was wondering where you’d been lately, but you were busy becoming a doctor.”

Looking at her with droopy eyes and a face full of regret, she felt like she might collapse.

How much effort I put in trying to capture that expression!

Because I was short, Deokseun even carried a chair around for me to take photos.

But to see that smile directed at me from so close up.

He was looking at Da-som and smiling with his beautifully folded eyes.

So you’re an Emergency Medicine resident doctor.

Gasp, she covered her mouth and nodded.

“As you can see, I hurt my leg while filming, and it looks like I need to be hospitalized. I’ll come visit you later.”

“Th-thank you.”

If this weren’t a hospital Emergency Room, she probably would have screamed and made a huge fuss.

But didn’t my actor acknowledge me?

“So you’re an Emergency Medicine resident doctor,” he had said.

She stared blankly as Han Bin disappeared through the door leading to the inpatient ward.

Slap!

Get it together.

Da-som quickly slapped both her cheeks with her hands and turned around to see patients.

Walking through the Emergency Room lounge with a flushed red face, she made eye contact with Kang Hyeok, who was leaning against the station with his arms crossed.

His glossy black eyes were carefully scanning Da-som’s face.

Suddenly, goosebumps rose all over her body.

…I thought you had left?
